Very interesting episode. I am a bit older than you, and I recall having stumbled ass backwards into a sophomoric conceit of claiming 'terror as art' as the next thing at the JC I was then attending just before September 11 happened. To be clear, I do not think the concept of terror as art is sophomoric, but rather my understanding of it at the time was, and so was my ignorance of its more elegant and insightful, articulate commentators. Ahh, youth and the illusions destroyed therein. Hell of a Bowie cliffhanger at the end.

I was in 6th grade when 9/11 happened. I remember thinking the amount of coverage that caught the initial hit was strange. I remember asking the other kids if they thought that was weird. obviously lots of people in nyc and tourists love bringing cameras to places but now I look at that reaction as something deep in me-marrow level-realizing 9/11 was a media event. and it was approached exactly like that. when a big scene happens in a movie-expensive set pieces, pyrotechnics and so on-the producers and financiers make damn sure there is multiple camera angles to ensure its worthwhile and can be used not only for the scene itself but in promoting the 'film'

Are you familiar with the term “non-place” By Marc Auge? He identifies these areas such as hotel lobbies and airports to be the most effective sites of terrorism because they allow the actor to affect everyone at once, sinceeveryone moves throughout these areas. Never had though about it as art before. Cheers Michael!
